His latest book combines the very best of his EconLog writings on finding happiness, success, meaning, connection, and convenience in a world that too often lacks all five.<\/p>\n<p>In the title essay, Caplan challenges the all-forgiving idea that people who make poor choices &#8220;can&#8217;t do otherwise.&#8221; If you don&#8217;t accept this excuse from anti-vaxxers, why would you accept it from alcoholics or overeaters? Humoring the pseudo-helpless may be kind, but reinforces poor behavior and often leads to the scapegoating of innocent bystanders. Yourself included.<\/p>\n<p>Self-Help Is Like a Vaccine is packed with helpful life hacks. How to stop packing for trips. How to turn arguments into bargains. The high cost of being single. Bonus: A long-time homeschooler, Caplan tells readers to turn truancy into a peak experience &#8212; and master math along the way.    <\/p>\n<p> ASIN                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 B0DFQH1TQB <br \/> Publication date                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 August 29, 2024 <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> File size                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 881 KB <br \/> Simultaneous device usage                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Unlimited <br \/> Text-to-Speech                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Screen Reader                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Supported <br \/> Enhanced typesetting                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> X-Ray                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Not Enabled <br \/> Word Wise                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Enabled <br \/> Sticky notes                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 On Kindle Scribe <br \/> Print length                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 178 pages <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Bryan Caplan, Professor of Economics at George Mason University and New York Times Bestselling author, blogged for EconLog from 2005-2022.
